Try to request a room on a higher floor for a quieter night. the noise from the street can be disruptive.

Tried it so you don’t have to!

The breakfast was lovely , and the kids' playroom looked delightful. The pool also added a nice touch to our stay.

The room was extremely cramped, with a noisy night from outside traffic. The parking situation was quite inconvenient as well.

great location with helpful staff during stay with daughter

Ideally situated near the seafront with friendly staff. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast offered a nice variety. Pool was a highlight for my daughter!

The kids loved Merrill's kids club with fun activities in the evenings, and it was great for our precious dog as the hotel is pet-friendly. We enjoyed the leisure facilities, which added a nice touch to our family getaway.

My wife says that the cleanliness was terrible.

the royal has a decent gym with plenty of equipment, making it a good spot to stay active. the pool area is nice for relaxing, though it could use a bit of cleaning. the leisure facilities are a nice bonus, and the kids really enjoyed their time at the pool.

Positive, I enjoyed my stay here. The double room was spacious and well-maintained. Staff provided excellent service with friendly assistance. The location offered easy access to local attractions. The dining options were diverse and tasty. 😊

the royal had a great breakfast selection. from cereals to pastries and meats. just the bacon was a bit dried out. the staff were friendly, enhancing the overall experience.

bar service was quite slow.

I stayed in a Triple Room at The Royal and found some aspects enjoyable. The bed was comfortable enough, and the sheets were clean, which is always a plus. the room itself felt quite dated and cramped, with the third floor’s single-glazed windows letting in a lot of noise from outside. I had to pull the curtains closed but discovered dirty socks left by a previous guest, which made me question the cleanliness. The plumbing definitely needs attention, as I could hear a running tap from down the hall. I didn’t experience a good night's sleep due to the banging radiators and loud noise from the corridors. The breakfast didn’t meet expectations either. it was cold and unappetizing by the time we got to it. I had to dig through a stack of plates to find a clean one, which wasn’t ideal. The service during breakfast was lacking, with little attention given to our needs. I also had difficulty with parking, as spaces were quite limited and only a few spots were available for a fee. It was a hassle having to walk through the bar just to get to reception for the necessary parking slip.

the room was a bit dated. but the warm hospitality from the staff really stood out. The leisure facilities were a great way to unwind, and the breakfast spread was more than satisfying.

It was just a good match for getting around the area in Bray at a reasonable price. The breakfast had a fantastic selection, keeping us all satisfied. Check if there's a nearby bus stop for easy transport around.
